Sunlight Supply no longer make the BlueWave ballasts. I think there might be a few vendors with some Hamiltons kicking around but I looked high and low and found no PFO or SLS. I paid a very pretty penny as a last-ditch effort to obtain one when a grow store in the US seemed to have a BlueWave. After paying a fortune to have the thing shipped here I was later notified they haven't got any and was refunded. Buying used if you can find them is pretty much the only option. I was considering the cube ballasts but was hesitant as I wanted a genuine M80. I've now got 5 x M80 just in case lol. I plan to use 4 over the big tank.

It was driving me nut thinking about what's inside the box so I grabbed the screwdriver and opened that sucker up.





It turns out StirCrazy was right, it is a pulse start ballast (Huaquan) with capacitor (Electronicon) and M80 starter (Arrancador). I went online and dug up the specs on this ballast and voila, there it was. The Apex was right according to this chart.
